Woman, 30, sheds off over 90kg in 3 years after being told she was 'TOO BIG' to qualify for health insurance (photos)

- Brittany Horton was left in pain and tears when an agent allegedly told her point-blank that she was too huge to qualify for health insurance

- She used to weigh 386 pounds (about 175 Kg). Now she weighs 178 pounds (roughly 77 Kg). The math shows she has lost a whopping 208 pounds (94 Kg)

- The 30-year-old lady says her bitter experience was the motivating factor that pushed her into a tough but necessary 'slim-possible mission'. Here is how she did it

A 30-year-old lady from Nashville, Tennessee, who was denied health insurance cover because of her weight shares her bitter experience and how she managed to shed off over 90 kilograms of fat from her body.

After she discovered that she weighed 386lbs, Horton, pictured recently, embarked on weight loss mission

About nine months later, she had shed off 80 ponds (36 Kg).

"It dropped yes, but when you are 386 pounds and you lose only 80 pounds, you are in the 300 bracket, which is still unacceptable," says Horton.

So the journey to lose even more fat continued. She started going to the gym and working out at least five times every week. This continued for the next two years as she monitored how much weight was left to be shed off.

Three years later, Horton had lost over 200 pounds (90 Kg), almost half of her original body weight (of about 386 pounds or 175 Kg).

" I am very determined and strong minded about it. I work extra hard to maintain my current shape and weight," says Horton.

Her advice to those who are still struggling with weight loss is that they should go hard on themselves. Gym, according to Horton, should be more important than a friend's birthday party.
